About this book
This study offers a reconstruction of Sennacherib’s campaign against Judah and Jerusalem in 701 BC. It contrasts and compares various, partly contradictious readings of this event and challenges established narratives. By giving equal weight to a great variety of different sources, whether literary or archaeological, the author comes to a new and profound understanding of this complex military conflict.

Reviews
"M[atty] has done a good job of surveying the sources, articulating the problems, cataloguing various scholarly opinions, and suggesting possible solutions. There are frequent summaries, which are very helpful. His study can be commended as a place to begin for any one interested in the question of Sennacherib‘s invasion and what really happened, and I think it goes a long way toward providing an answer to the main problems."
Lester L. Grabbe in: THEOLOGISCHE LITERATURZEITUNG 142 (2017), Nr. 9, S. 901
"[...] an interesting historical reconstruction which should inspire historians of Antiquity and biblical scholars."
Edward Lipinski in: The Polish Journal of Biblical Research 16, 2017, pp. 62-64
"[...] Matty should be praised for her monograph which has brought scholarship a few steps closer to solving the historical riddle of 701 BCE."
